Crazy Arms
Bunch The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
And you're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
So please take these treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
The feeling I have inside cannot be conveyed by the color blue
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
I'm feeling a great deal of emotional turmoil
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
I know that my feelings are genuine
And you're someone else's love now you're not mine
The person I loved is now with someone else
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
I desperately want to hold someone else, but it's not possible
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
Despite my desires, I know that I don't belong with the person I love
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
I am aware that the person I loved is going to get married to someone else
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
The fact that the person I love is not with me makes me feel constantly alone
So please take these treasured dreams I have for you and me
I want you to take the memories of what we had together
And take all the love I thought was mine
I'm willing to let go of the love that we shared
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
I know that someday I will love someone else, but for now, I'm still feeling quite lonely
